Maybe I forgot to mention I've got an Epson 2200.
My options are to check "Black" in the print driver, which uses
only the "primary" black cartidge (not the "light black") and gives
a fairly grainy look, or to use "Color" which gives metamerism
(my prints look ok under incandescent, but blue in daytime).

Unless I'm seriously mistaken, MIS has no inksets available for the
2200 as yet, although it's rumored this may soon change.

The hope is that a software "magic bullet" might give me accepatble
prints with the 2200 and its stock UltraChrome inks.  Looks like
ImagePrint 5 might be such a bullet, but it costs as much as a
new printer.    A recent poster here suggested gimp-print, which
only runs under Unix (of which OSX is a form).

Thanks, John
